The France international, 20, was one of the standout performers in Juve's 1-0 Serie A win over neighbours Torino at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday and is regarded as one of the best young players in the sport.

Pogba has a growing list of suitors following his fine performances this campaign - with the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain thought to be interested in his services - and Conte is confident he is destined for greatness.

"Pogba was definitely more solid in midfield, he fought for every inch defensively and I think this was a very important game for him," he told reporters.

"He's got great potential and could be a great player both offensively and defensively for Juventus.

"That is me saying this, remember I used to be charging up and down the field myself in my playing days. Paul can fulfil his potential and become a great champion.

"It's our duty to make him grow in the right way in order to understand the game and adapt to different situations."
